Hello kernel folks,
I recently decided to reinstall my Lenovo W500 laptop and found I wasn't able
to get DHCP leases, I wasn't able to install over PXE (when getting the IP a
second time within the OS)
Fedora is currently using kernel-3.6.2-2.fc18.x86_64 (Pre-beta)
The only difference I noticed was in my old install of Fedora, I had added
MTU=9000 to the interface config while using a 3.5 kernel, not knowing 3.6.x
seems to break things.
I have noticed tx unit hang errors sometimes, but not when MTU is above 1500.

When I set MTU = 1500 (2000 works), it will stop receiving packets, it also
disables Interrupt Throttling when MTU is set higher.
After testing reasons why it wasn't get a DHCP lease, I decided to bump the
MTU to 9000 for Jumbo Frames and as soon as I did this, I was able to get a
lease and the network functioned.
Can anyone else report regressions?
Thanks,
Shawn.
